We analyzed here the clinical efficacy of mRNA-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines among Italian children aged 5-11 years using data published by the National Institute of Health. Vaccination status was associated with a reduced risk of COVID-19 related hospitalizations and ICU admissions, which were 41% (odds ratio, 0.59; 95%CI, 0.46-0.77) and 68% (odds ratio, 0.32; 95%CI, 0.04-2.63) lower in children who completed the vaccination cycle <120 days compared to the unvaccinated matched population.

Abstract

We analyzed here the clinical efficacy of mRNA-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines among Italian children aged 5-11 years using data published by the National Institute of Health. Vaccination status was associated with a reduced risk of COVID-19 related hospitalizations and ICU admissions, which were 41% (odds ratio, 0.59; 95%CI, 0.46-0.77) and 68% (odds ratio, 0.32; 95%CI, 0.04-2.63) lower in children who completed the vaccination cycle <120 days compared to the unvaccinated matched population.
